article is too short on information, so here it is

It's a movie called "1Day" about a day in the life of black drug gangs in Birmingham, UK.
And it's the Burger Bar Boys and Johnson Crew
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1268158/
http://www.1daythemovie.co.uk/
It was partly funded by Channel 4 and the National Lottery, and some parts of the right-wing press are accusing it of glamorising guns and drug gangs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOVE
The film depicts the events which led up to the Philadelphia police murdering 6 adults and 5 children who were members of MOVE by fire bombing their house.
West Midlands police but pressure on the venue (The Drum in Newtown - the national centre for Black British Arts and Culture) to provide them with the contact details for the people who were putting on the event. Presumably the police were worried about any 'upheavals' there might be from showing a film depicting police racism and brutality in a predominantly black area.
